My Dog, [before 1973]

Yiannis Antoniadis, having studied sculpture at the School of Fine Arts in Athens and architecture in Florence, created works in collaboration with architects, designed public monuments and worked with freely inspired compositions, adapting his style according to the destination and requirements of his works.

In “My Dog”, working in a realistic vein, he depicts his own pet, adopting a naturalistic style with minimal stylisation. Poised and still, with its head extended forward, the dog seems to be alert to something unseen – perhaps awaiting its master, in a moment the artist was eager to immortalise.
